I mean what wobo has written. Besides, forum posts are more effective way to track users opinions about distro and applications. I always hated this survey thing on Mandriva. Also it feels something like a registration to a propierty application or validate a windows install. Many users in Mandriva Turkiye community asked me if they *must* fill survey and register their e-mails. Most of them were new to GNU Linux.
I think we should decide if we will implement a Welcome Center/Kaptan to distro and if it is an informative screen or basic configuration tool or both for newbies. I' m not interested in filling the blanks on a survey. Also a survey would be introduced in main web site. Any interested user should fill it. _______________________________________________ Mageia-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev
